Melatonin is a hormone manufactured and released into the bloodstream by pineal gland nestled deep within the human brain. Melatonin is intimately involved in synchronizing the body’s hormone secretions, setting the brain’s internal clock and generating circadian rhythms (daily biorhythms). These patterns govern the release of hormones that regulate such body functions as reproduction and digestion. Significantly, melatonin also works around the clock to signal the body, which is sensitive to light cues, when to sleep and when to awaken. Typically, the pineal gland begins excreting melatonin around dusk, rapidly increases its output between 2 A.M. and 4 A.M., and then decreases its output again as daylight appears.

Taking Melatonin Helps:

Falling asleep faster

Sleeping better

Reduces the symptoms from jet lag

It is a natural hormone

Melatonin is NOT addictive

It is an antioxidant

Because of its antioxidant properties it is said to prevent or delay heart disease

Its also said to prevent or delay or fight certain cancers

Other preliminary findings suggest a possible role in lessening the nerve damage associated with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases

This is why melatonin is so popular. It aids in sleep, it is NOT addictive and it benefits in so many other areas.

Caution

If you take any prescription medication, check with your doctor before starting on melatonin or any other supplement, as potentially hazardous interactions could result.

Because it can cause drowsiness, avoid driving or handling heavy machinery for several hours after taking it.

Don’t take melatonin if you’re pregnant or nursing.

Women trying to conceive should not take it; at high doses, it appears to work as a contraceptive.

Children and teenagers produce copious amounts of melatonin and should not take melatonin supplements.

Angie Jack –August 4, 2017

I take one of these a day. Every night. I sleep so beautifully, I even test it by drinking an espresso right before bed and then taking one melatonin and I slept like a baby.
I did not feel tired or sluggish in the morning like sleeping pills or (other melatonins that I used to get at cost-co or CVS) used to make me feel.
